Never Like This

I’ve held others before,

But it was never like this,

Where my body inhales you

And quivers with bliss,

Where my senses are reeling

From the strength of desire,

And if I can’t have you soon,

I’ll be consumed by the fire.

Love poetry should make the recipient feel treasured. This free rhyming romantic true love poem is a love rhyme that could also be used as a relationship poem.

If Not For You

If not for you, I wouldn’t know

What true love really meant.

I’d never feel this inner peace;

I couldn’t be content.

If not for you, I’d never have

The pleasures of romance.

I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,

Of love’s sweet, silly dance.

I have to feel your tender touch;

I have to hear your voice;

No other one could take your place;

You’re it; I have no choice.

If not for you, I’d be adrift;

I don’t know what I’d do;

I’d be searching for my other half,

Incomplete, if not for you.

Author's Choice

Some years ago, when I thought about starting a poetry site, I prayed about it. "Lord," I said, "I'm about to write a poem, and if you want me to go ahead with this poetry site idea, make it a really good one." I started writing, and in a short time, "Creatures of the Fire" was done. I looked at it and just knew I had the go ahead from God. Technically, it's the best poem I've ever written, with its internal rhyme and metaphors. I loved it then, and it's still my favorite.

Creatures of the Fire

We swan-dive into the volcano, burning;

We’re creatures of the fire,

Mingled male and female, yearning

For the heat, the sweet explosion of desire.

I splash into the pleasure, all consuming;

I’m joyfully insane,

My passion for you deep, and fully blooming;

Long after, sweet warm flickers still remain.

You make my body sizzle with your kisses,

And yet there’s so much more;

My heart is kindled, too; It knows what bliss is,

This closeness that I’ve never felt before.

My body and my heart belong to you;

I’m peaceful and complete.

I see more adventures coming for we two,

We creatures of the tender fire and heat.

Some love poems rhyme and some don't. This is a love poem in free verse, which doesn't rhyme. This free love verse could also be framed and given as a romantic gift.

Until I Met You

Before I met you,

I thought I was happy,

and I was,

but I had never known

the rich contentment,

deep satisfaction,

and total fulfillment

you brought to me

when you came into my life.

Before I met you,

I felt a lot of things,

good things,

but I had never experienced

the indescribably intense

feelings I have for you.

Before I met you,

I thought I knew myself,

and I did,

but you looked deep inside me

and found fresh new things

for us to share.

Before I met you,

I thought I knew about love,

but I didn’t,

until I met you.
